Wedding Cakes

Depending how your wedding cake is being provided, please take careful note of the below with regards to ingredients and allergens. With all wedding cakes, when we cut the cake, we reserve the right not to serve it if it is not satisfactorily cooked.

Professionally Made Wedding Cakes

The person / company that produces the cake must send a full ingredients and allergens list when the cake is delivered to the venue. We will require the producer to provide their public liability insurance as per the Supplier Guide.

Shop Bought Wedding Cakes

The cake must be delivered to the venue in its original sealed packaging, and be labelled with full ingredients and allergens listed.

Home Made Wedding Cakes

We are extremely sorry, but we cannot accept homemade cakes at our venues. Sadly, the risks involved with allergens and food safety is too serious and we pride ourselves on ensuring the safety of all our customers and the food they eat.

What Wedding Cakes Are Allowed

Traditional Cutting Wedding Cakes – While fruitcake is the traditional choice, modern couples are increasingly opting for other flavours like sponge cake, chocolate, or lemon, sometimes incorporating the fruitcake as the top tier for tradition’s sake. The cake is traditionally served in tiers and the ‘cutting of the cake’ symbolises the first task performed jointly by the couple.

Or,

Individual Cupcake Wedding Cakes – A cupcake wedding cake is a collection of cupcakes arranged to resemble a traditional tiered wedding cake. This alternative to a classic cake offers a fun and versatile option for weddings, allowing for diverse flavours, colours, and designs. The cupcakes can be individually decorated and arranged on a tiered stand, sometimes with a larger “top tier” cupcake as the focal point. If you wanted to offer an alternative to cupcakes then this is allowed, however you must NOT provide any more than 1 portion per person invited.

Plum Park Manor Testimonials

  • I got married at Plum Park Manor this weekend and everything from the rooms to the staff to the food & drink was absolutely superb. The staff could not do enough to help us and our guests and accommodated all sorts of additional needs, such as breastfeeding mothers, elderly people, and autistic individuals, without making anybody feel like an inconvenience. All the feedback from the guests regarding the venue has been excellent. I would choose PPM again and again - the only thing that went wrong that they couldn't control was the weather!

  • "The best day ever", "the food was so nice", "such a beautiful venue", "utterly fantastic" - these are some of the comments we received from our guests after Plum Park Manor hosted our wedding a few weeks ago.

    We absolutely loved getting married at Plum Park Manor, the grounds are a perfect mix of flexible outdoor/indoor spaces for all ages, it feels light and natural and also beautifully maintained. Amongst so many stand-out features, the newly refurbished bridal prep room is brilliant and very spacious, there is a great choice of drinks at the bar, and the evening pizza is amazing!

    Rowan, our designated wedding co-ordinator, is exceptionally good at his job! He's such a lovely person and no question or task was ever too much. He was really helpful, organised and attentive whilst we were in the planning stages, and during the wedding morning he was somehow multiple places at once and was present whenever anybody needed his help, we could simply just enjoy our day as he had everything covered! All the staff we met were equally as lovely and made us feel so welcome throughout the entire day. Thank you so much for a perfect day! 🥰🌷
